That's how I think of it. And also as a bit of a platitude that's learned during effective listening training.

LOL, that is certainly possible. I worked in retail for nine years after my first go round at undergrad. I got so used to the standard phrases, that when we were really really busy, the wrong one might come out. For example, I might say as I was handing the package to the customer, "How would you like to pay for that?" instead of "Thanks and come back."
They always looked at me really funny when that happened...
